Bilong wanem 1 Korin 10:8 i tok 23,000 Israel i dai long wanpela de tasol long wanem ol i mekim pasin pamuk, tasol Namba 25:9 i tok 24,000?
I gat sampela as na ating ol stori i kamapim narapela narapela namba long dispela tupela ves. Wanpela as em olsem, ating namba bilong ol man i dai i namel long 23,000 na 24,000, dispela i mekim na i gat tupela narapela narapela namba.
Tingim narapela as. Aposel Pol i stori long ol Israel long Sitim bilong givim tok lukaut long ol Kristen long Korin bilong bipo, em taun i gat nem long mekim pasin pamuk. Em i tok: “Yumi no ken mekim pasin pamuk, olsem sampela bilong ol i bin mekim, na long wanpela de tasol 23,000 bilong ol i bin lus.” Pol i makim ol manmeri Jehova i kilim ol i dai long wanem ol i mekim pasin pamuk, na em i tok namba bilong ol em 23,000.—1 Korin 10:8.
Tasol Namba sapta 25 i tok, “ol Israel i bihainim Bal, giaman god bilong maunten Peor. Olsem na Bikpela i kros long ol.” Jehova i tokim Moses long kilim i dai ‘olgeta hetman bilong Israel.’ Na Moses i tokim ol jas long kilim ol i dai. Orait, taim Finias i kirap wantu na kilim i dai dispela Israel husat i bin kisim meri Midian i kam insait long kem, “dispela sik i pinis.” Long pinis bilong dispela stori, Baibel i tok: “Bikpela i bin mekim wanpela sik nogut i kamap long ol Israel na bagarapim 24,000 manmeri na ol i dai.”—Namba 25:1-9.
Dispela namba em Buk Namba i kolim i kamapim olsem ‘olgeta hetman bilong Israel,’ em ol jas i kilim ol i dai, na ol man Jehova yet i bin kilim ol i dai, olgeta i insait long dispela 24,000. Ating wan tausen em ol hetman ol jas i bin kilim i dai, na dispela i surikim namba i go 24,000. Maski ol dispela hetman i mekim pasin pamuk, o ol i insait long ol bung bilong amamas, o ol i orait long ol dispela man i mekim pasin pamuk, ol dispela hetman i gat asua long “lotu long Bal, giaman god bilong Peor.”
Lain Israel em lain i dediket long Jehova, tasol taim ol i “lotu long Bal, giaman god bilong Peor,” ol i brukim promis ol i bin mekim long God. Samting olsem 700 yia bihain, long rot bilong profet Hosea, Jehova i tok long ol Israel olsem: “Taim ol i kamap long maunten Peor, na ol i lotu long giaman god Bal namba wan taim, ol i laikim tumas dispela giaman god na ol i kamap nogut tru olsem Bal yet.” (Hosea 9:10) Olgeta man i bin mekim olsem, i stret God i bagarapim ol. Olsem na Moses i kirapim gen ol Israel: “Yupela yet i lukim pinis dispela samting Bikpela i bin mekim long maunten Peor. Planti man i bin lotu long giaman god Bal long dispela ples, na God i bin bagarapim ol olgeta.”—Lo 4:3.
